  • Deadly Eyes rules my world! I would be perfectly happy watching those dachshunds-in-rat-costumes run up and down tunnels all day every day forever.
  • Death Spa is so much fun. Maybe you haven't seen it for a while, or maybe you've never seen it at all...no matter your current relationship with Death Spa, please consider making it a part of your SHOCKtober 2024 rotation, thank you.
  • I had never heard of Dark Mirror before someone included it on their list, and when I read the description of it they included I gasped. Made for TV? 1984? Jane Seymour as twins (one of whom is evil, natch)? How has this not been integral to my life since...1984, I guess? Do I even deserve to have a horror blog??
  • A reader on Delicatessen: "Who knew dread, cannibalism, and apocalypse could be this funny?"
  • I need to rewatch Dead End, it's been many a hot minute and in my memories at least it's a little gem. And who doesn't need more Ray Wise in their watchings?
  • It's a bit shocking that Snyder's Dawn of the Dead only got one vote. It's always had a pretty good showing--in 2020 it received seven votes and in earlier SHOCKtobers it got even more. Hmm! I'd like to see what the faves list looks like ten years from now--tastes and trends fluctuate of course, but there's just so much damn horror coming out every single minute and viewing habits / methods have drastically changed since I started doing this...how will the beloveds and classiques hold up in the future?
